Trender i ungas politiska engagemang är omtvistade, då förändringar sker i vilka frågor de är intresserade av, och i vilken grad de engagerar sig politiskt, samtidigt som ungas materiella verklighet präglas av en tilltagande osäkerhet och ökade krav på resurser. Denna studie ämnar förstå hur unga i Sverige förhåller sig till politik och framtid genom tolkningar av ungas upplevelser av politikens m
Mot bakgrund av Finlands antagande av Lagen om temporära åtgärder för att bekämpa instrumentaliserad migration (2024), syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka hur säkerhetisering-relaterat språk kan användas för att legitimera lagen inom den finska politiska diskursen. Lagen presenterades som ett svar på Rysslands påstådda användning av migranter som ett verktyg i hybridpåverkan mot Finland. När mFinland’s adoption of the Act on Temporary Measures to Combat Instrumentalized Migration (2024:482) provides the background of this investigation. The legislation was introduced as a response to Russia’s alleged use of migrants as a tool of hybrid influence against Finland. When migration is reframed as a form of warfare, it risks reshaping both legislation and perceptions of asylum rights. How po
This thesis examines how the ruling party in Hungary, Fidesz, under the leadership of Viktor Orbán, uses anti-gender rhetoric as a political tool to amplify eurosceptic opinions in Hungarian society. Through an ideational analysis of six political speeches delivered by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, between 2021 and 2025, the study explores how Orbán constructs and propagates specific reality judgem
Climate and environmental policy have long been a part of the European Union’s projected priorities in international relations. Despite multiple crises which have hampered ambitious policy development, climate diplomacy has continued to be an important part of the EU’s identity. Once again, the EU faces multiple challenges that have affected the projection of environmental ambition and the policy
Vi lever i en tid av förändring, en tid där artificiell intelligens tar sina första riktiga vingslag med hela världen framför sig. Denna tid har ofta kallats för "AI-revolutionen" där potentialen för AI verkar gränslös. Det är en potential som även existerar inom den medicinska fronten vilket är något som detta projekt bygger på. Bland individer med ljusare hy är basalcellscancer (BCC) In this thesis we investigate the possibility of delineating basal cell carcinoma using photoacoustic imaging and patient-specific neural networks. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of cancer in lighter-skinned individuals and the current methods for determining the extent of the tumor are invasive and time-consuming. Photoacoustic imaging allows for detailed subsurface imaging at multi
This thesis explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to convert natural language questions into SQL (Structured Query Language) queries within the field of sports analytics, with a focus on a real-world use case for Spiideo, a provider of cloud-based video analysis tools. The study compares different system designs, including single-agent and multi-agent setups, various prompting strategie
Den här uppsatsen undersöker de konstitutionella begränsningarna som gäller för EU-rättens genomslag i svensk rätt med särskilt fokus på 10 kap. 6 § RF och svenska domstolars möjlighet att utöva konstitutionella kontroll av EU rätten. Frågan är i huvudsak outforskad i svensk rätt, men har utvecklats i flera andra EU-medlemsstater. Syftet är att undersöka hur en sådan kontroll rättsligt kan tolThis thesis examines the constitutional limitations governing the domestic effect of EU law in Sweden, with particular emphasis on Chapter 10, Section 6 of the Instrument of Government and the ability of Swedish courts to exercise constitutional review of EU law. While this issue has received little attention Swedish legal discourse, it has been more extensively developed in several other EU
In the face of climate change, environmental migration has become a pressing issue, particularly for countries like Mexico, which are highly vulnerable to climate-related risks and have a long-standing history of structural inequality. Although the environmental drivers of migration have been widely acknowledged, the institutional capacity to address the challenges that accompany them remains unde
This paper examines how the role of Systembolaget, Sweden’s state wine monopoly has evolved in relation to market dynamics, public health objectives, and consumer preferences. Using a combination of survey data and an analysis of retail statistics, the study examines how different sales channels – Systembolaget, online retailers, and farm sales – are perceived by consumers. This is done through th
Detta examensarbete introducerar ett nytt förslag på användning av nedlagda skolor, fabrikslokaler, vårdinstitutioner, och andra övergivna anläggningar som står tomma runt om på Sveriges landsbygd. Behovet av funktioner dessa byggnader en gång var ämnade för saknar idag efterfrågan och jag vill lyfta potentialen sådana platser kan ha för särskilda användningsområden, i jämförelse med att bygga nytThis thesis introduces a new proposal for the reuse of abandoned schools, industrial buildings, care institutions, and other vacant facilities scattered across rural Sweden. The functions these buildings once served are no longer in use, and I aim to highlight the potential these places may hold for specific new uses, as an alternative to constructing new buildings. With consideration of a current
The textile industry’s linear business paradigm fuels excessive resource extraction and generate vast amounts of waste. Despite the EU Circular Economy Action Plan and growing industry awareness of these environmental concerns, many firms struggle to implement transformative Circular Business Models (CBMs) that provide a sustainable countermodel. Underlying socio-technical dynamics further amplify
As cities increasingly turn to nature-based solutions (NBS) as panaceas for addressing climate challenges and other social, economic, and environmental issues, questions of urban governance and justice have become more prominent. While much of the existing literature on NBS justice assessments focuses on distributional aspects through quantitative methods, procedural justice remains underexplored,
Coherent Diffraction Imaging (CDI) is an imaging technique that allows getting a high contrast image from phase interactions within a sample. However, the field of X-ray CDI has been dealing with a common issue known as the phase problem. Upon interaction with the sample, the incoming photons get absorbed or scatter and therefore, the wavefield gets altered. It continues to propagate towards the d
This thesis examines how audiences engage with mediated intimacy in sports documentaries through the lens of Break Point, a Netflix series offering backstage access to elite tennis players. The study develops the concept of gossip-based engagement which is a hybrid participatory mode in which affective responses and cognitive speculation are structurally fused. In online discussions, particularly
Women’s representation in media has been a critical topic of research. In a nation where gender scripts have undergone radical shifts according to state policy and ideological shifts, the current moment where birth rate declines and policies changes abruptly, once again sounds the alarm. This thesis examines how the Chinese reality TV See you Again construct postfeminist sensibility through gender
This thesis explores the development of a digital twin for a real-life tunnel facility in Revinge, Skåne, using fire simulations and machine learning. The study aimed to identify preferred machine learning algorithms and compare fire simulation tools in terms of efficiency and performance. A literature review highlighted Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks as a suitable choice. Fire simulations
This thesis analyzes the construction and reproduction of ideal motherhood discourse on the Chinese social media platform Red Note, focusing specifically on the discursive strategies of mum bloggers, user interactions, and the platform's influence in this process. Employing Fairclough's three-dimensional critical discourse analysis framework, the thesis analyzes the textual, discursive, an
Biological diversity faces a global crisis with increasing extinction rates and the loss of variety within species and across ecosystems. Increasingly, large companies are committing to address their impacts on biodiversity, but research shows that corporate reporting remains inconsistent, shallow, and difficult to compare. While biodiversity-related disclosures have largely been driven by various
Nya byggnormer – smartare tunnlar? Cut-and-Cover-tunnlar är vanliga vid grund anläggningsnivå i svensk infrastruktur. Dessa betongkonstruktioner utsätts för konstant vattentryck, vilket ställer krav på sprickkontroll. Sprickor uppstår ofta på grund av tvångslaster, exempelvis från temperaturvariationer och krympning, när dessa deformationer hindras av omgivningen. För att begränsa sprickbildning dTunnel structures play an important role in Sweden’s infrastructure. At shallow depths, a common construction method is the so-called “Cut-and-Cover” tunnel, where the tunnel placement is excavated, cast in concrete on-site, and then backfilled. Such tunnels are typically subjected to constant water pressure, which yields high demands on crack control. Cracking in elongated concrete structures oft
